@morirach I don't severely restrict my diet, I still eat things I enjoy. I just pay attention to ingredients, try to make things homemade when I can, and make sure my body gets enough protein so I'm not starving even though I'm eating all day. I work my kids into that conversation, we always...

@mercifulwoman I’m not. Working moms get dumped on with that comment a lot, it’s offensive. Most people who say it DO mean it. But also, I feel strongly about equality for women, especially in the workplace. With combined finances, I’d think “daycare is a temporary expense that takes 10% of...

@mercifulwoman As a working mom, I can assure you that I am still raising my child. What a rude thing to say.

@mercifulwoman Why are you basing the full childcare cost against your wages? If they are shared, wouldn’t it be split?

@mercifulwoman Is he not willing to pitch in for childcare for his own future child?

@worshipgod Yeah, I enjoy working. I enjoy developing professionally. Even when I retire, I will probably still work PT because I simply enjoy the development and push that comes with working. I like being able to bounce ideas off colleagues, I like the women's' ERGs I am in, I love the stretch...

@lesbian5eva My husband and I worked opposite schedules for 7 months after my oldest was born; it’s not really that different than being a working parent with a “normal” schedule, you work for a set amount of hours and take care of a child/children for the other amount of hours. Our schedule at...

@deelo00 Dude right? My husband works outside the home but I’ve been killing myself working and caring for my kids

@masterpiece Just to provide you with an alternative perspective; My kids are 3 and 4. 4yo switched out of the crib at 15 months because he started climbing out. No problems with the transition, and it’s been great. 3.5 yo is still in her crib! She absolutely loves her crib. She can climb out...

@nessofonett05 They are 4 and almost 6, we have had this arrangement since my oldest was about 9 months and my husband stopped working swing shift

@nessofonett05 We switch off each weekend day. I get Saturdays and my husband gets Sundays. I think your arrangement sucks and I would not be down

@kezia I totally understand the burnout. My daughter was home all last week with pinkeye and it was rough to work with her there. It sounds like your partner has valid reasons for not being able to WFH and that you guys didn’t discuss him staying home today? I would just vent tonight when he...

@iamkingsamuel I didn’t think there was a SAHP? Idk with two teenagers and a third grader I wouldn’t think this would be an issue. It’s ok to disagree

@iamkingsamuel I would assume the routine is the same because nothing has been decided. If, in casual conversation, someone says “hey kids have no school on Friday” and left it at that, I’d be like oh ok thanks for the heads up, unless both parents work outside the home and have no childcare...

@nataliya Agreed. I think “you’re entitled” is a strong response to a parent going about the daily routine. I also think parent B being in office would mean they generally don’t WFH? Communication should have happened before this morning. If nothing had been discussed before the routine...

@tomato777 Yeah that seems a bit intense! I would think school would help teach that
